the greed of pharmaceuticals, pain management physicians and money machines of these physicians, very low tolerance of pain by patients,indiscriminate use of such drugs, sloppy oversights by regulating agencies and
low priority of funds by states and federal gov are all contributing factors..

The true clinical descriptor should be Fungal Inoculation Disease
(FID) with expression as meningitis, cellulitis, abscess,
arthritis, arachnoiditis and/or multiple sites of infection. To
limit the discussion to "meningitis" is to ignore the symptoms of
systemic illness in people who do not have classic signs of
meningitis. Oh and by the way, this is by definition a VECTOR BORNE
infectious disease: without the vector of doctors who perform the
injections there would be no disease. For most vector borne
infectious diseases, the reservoir is usually people or other
animals. In the case of FID, the reservoir identified to date is
NECC. But how many more reservoirs are out there? It seems to me
that a review of the safety of the entire chain of supply is
needed.
And maybe a bettor descriptor yet would be Vector Born Fungal
Inoculation Disease or VB-FID! We do need to establish these terms,
after all there is no ICD-9 or even ICD-10 code to adequately
describe the illness that the victims are suffering!.

This latest health catastrophe is a total disaster for those
involved.
From a medical authority that time and again seems helpless to find
the cause of the latest unacceptable illness from autism, diabetes,
Alzheimer Disease etc etc it is a pleasure to see for once a total
knowledge of who and what has caused this illness and deaths.
We can look forward to zero cases of this illness very quickly.
Currently in France, top scientists have found that a GMO food is
slowly damaging our kidneys and livers and causing cancer in animals
and hence likely to do the same to humans.
When can we hope for the same recognition that this company or that
has made a gaff and look forward to decreasing rather than the
current increasing amounts of illness and disease that seems so
common?.

very low tolerance of pain by patients...I find this exceedingly
condescending. If you have never suffered chronic neck/back pain
and its debilitating effects, please refrain from such
generalizations. Physicians like you that do not take chronic pain
seriously, in my eyes, are the driving factor, for patients to seek
care elsewhere, in pain management clinics, etc..

Why no mention of
the abscesses that
are now being
detected in
asymptomatic
individuals who
received these
injections?.
